Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director

Design Futures time-based paradigms
No full textAnna Barbara pointed out that the design of time
is one of the most important global trends, and
we should take the future as an important tool for
designing the present.
Anna Barbara asked the question: what kind of
present do we live in?
First of all, she explained the present meaning of
contraction and told us that the form of time is
changing. We are driving towards the future like
a car. What we see in the rearview mirror is the
past, and now is simplified to a moment. This is our
current situation.
We decompose our emotions and opinions and
filter our heritage to the world through smart
phones, cameras and other filters, which gives us
a distance between reality and related problems,
between us and social responsibility, and choose
to live in a comfortable area, making us passive
bystanders rather than active participants.
Anna Barbara pointed out that there are more and
more different perspectives, which have brought
us different opinions, which is also changing
the quality of our design and the space we will
live in. We hope to respond to the living space,
experience and experience, and our space may
have been designed 50 years ago, not modern
design at all. At the same time, the digital age has
brought us a completely different life.
In addition, the exploration of time is closely
related to the innovation in the field of mobile and
transportation. Anna Barbara, for example, looks
at the swimming pool in the above figure. The
swimming pool on the screen is more exciting than
in reality. She puts forward a social way to make
life no longer socialized. Excessive use of social
media gives us a sense of definition and existence.
Now we are not close to the people around us, but
we have established contact with people in another
space. Back to the point just mentioned, in fact, we
walk in space, and we don't move our steps when we walk. We don't even exist in space now. Our
existence is nonexistence.
In the compression or expansion of time, not only
designers, people maximize productivity. We are
constantly adjusting our adaptability to time. What
is it like now? With the continuous compression
and expansion of time, we become more and more
efficient, and our productivity has been maximized.
We all use artificial, rising and setting sun like
chickens in farms, but make them produce more
chicken eggs in an unsustainable way.
We have now become consumers of space. Our
feelings and experiences of place have been
distorted, seduced, enjoyed and entertained. Even
if our physiological rhythm is compromised in this
process, we have become over excited consumers,
resulting in emotional bulimia.
Finally, Anna Barbara asked: what should it be like
for future design?
Students are the people who live in the future. She
asked students to design a space where they hope
to live and see their prospects for the future. She
believes that as a teacher, we should go out of the
reflection of knowledge, let ourselves stand out, be
able to accommodate ourselves, teach methods,
abandon ideas, and teach students how to ask
correct questions, rather than simply give answers.
So that students can really live in a conscious
time and space, establish real proximity, sharing
economy and open knowledge. If teachers can
afford equal programs for young people of all
genders without leaving anyone behind, regardless
of social and cultural background, learning will be
highly sustainable in the future
